蒙特利尔四季酒店位于金方（Golden Square Mile）的中心。备受赞誉的蒙特利尔艺术家斯卡尔•吉拉丁（Pascale Girardin）为这家新开的酒店创作了一件独特的雕塑作品。

The recent arrival of the Four Seasons Hotel Montreal located in the vibrant heart of the Golden Square Mile is transforming the city’s hospitality and entertainment offering. Acclaimed Montreal artist Pascale Girardin has created an original site-specific sculpture for the newly opened prestigious hotel.

这座名为《沉思》的雕塑悬挂在酒店的露天中庭，是这座奢华酒店的中心，唤起了人们对自然的向往。这幅作品体现了蒙特利尔丰富的艺术气息，以及细致的工艺、丰富的人文故事、丰富多彩的细节和与地方的联系。

Suspended in the hotel’s open-air atrium, the sculpture, entitled Contemplation, is a centrepiece, evoking nature in the very heart of the luxury establishment. The work speaks to the artistry that is so richly alive in Montreal, and to the detailed craftsmanship, enriching human stories, colourful detail, and connection to place.

这个全白的装置由轻质铝制成，以24k金镀金为主色调，由90多块直径从30厘米到1米不等的花状悬浮物组成。这些花环从十七层到八层如瀑布般穿过中庭，唤起了大自然的循环：春天的花朵，在夏日微风中飘荡的花瓣，秋天的树叶和冬季的雪花。

Made of lightweight aluminum, the all-white installation with gilded accents of 24-karat gold is made up of over ninety floral suspensions ranging from thirty centimeters to one meter in diameter. These garlands cascade through the atrium from the seventeenth to the eighth floor, evoking the cycles of nature—the blossoms of spring flowers, the movement of petals adrift on a summer breeze, the spill of autumnal leaves and the lightness of falling snow.
